The Chicago Bulls are a successful team, but their two-game winning run should not cloud the reality that this is a flawed club in need of new players. Despite rumors that the Bulls are having trouble offloading All-Star wingman Zach LaVine, Dan Favale has developed a trade plan that could work out well for both the Raptors and the Bulls.
Send LaVine to the Raptors in exchange for a lot of assets.
LaVine is a superb athlete who can accomplish amazing physical exploits and scorching scoring bursts. Just as his most recent time with the Bulls attests, his flashes of brilliance haven’t always converted into team success. To really realize his potential, though, the guard would benefit from a change of scenery.
In exchange for a number of assets, including two first-round picks, shooting guard Gary Trent Jr., big man Precious Achiuwa, and young players Chris Boucher and Gradey Dick, Favale suggests trading LaVine and Terry Taylor to the Raptors.
According to Favale’s Bleacher Report piece, “the Bulls are winning right now when they exit any trade with two firsts, a recent lottery pick, and a scattering of short-term contracts.”
strengthens the roster
The Bulls will lose one All-Star as a result of this transaction, but the squad will be better balanced thanks to the addition of reliable role players.
In order to provide more depth throughout the 2-3-4 spots and extend the floor around DeMar DeRozan, Boucher, Dick, and GTJ work together. The Bulls can try some wild, explosive frontcourt lineups that put him (or Boucher) at the five, but the Achiuwa experience is not nearly as alluring as it was eighteen months ago, Favale continued.
